20-year-old drug dealer sentenced

    A drug dealer has been sentenced to two years’ detention in a young offender institution for possession of 27 wraps of Class A drugs with intent to supply.

    Idrees Hussain was caught by police officers sitting in a car with a bag of drugs.

    Bradford Crown Court heard the 20-year-old lied to officers saying he found 21 wraps of heroin and six wraps of crack cocaine hidden in a hole in a wall.

    Judge Roqer Thomas QC told Hussain: “This is a simple and straightforward case of drug dealing, whether as a sole trader or acting with others. This is Class A drugs supply and you must have been living on the planet Zog if you did not realise what the attitude of the courts in Bradford is to that.”
